How to message your assistant from WhatsApp, Telegram or Slack with OpenClaw

Connect channels to the Gateway so the same assistant answers you wherever you already chat, with pairing for unknown senders.

Short answer: Finish onboarding so the Gateway is running; then follow the getting started guide's channel setup for WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal or iMessage; send the assistant a direct message from the connected app. All steps.

Credentials. Each channel adds a bot token or linked session on your machine; anyone with that machine can act as your assistant.

Who it is forSomeone who wants to ask their assistant things from their phone without opening a laptop or a new app.

The problemA desktop-only assistant is useless when you are away from the computer.

The outcomeThe assistant replying in your chat apps, with strangers held back until you approve a pairing request.

What you need first

  • macOS, Linux, Windows or WSL2 (the installer provisions Node.js if needed)
  • An API key or plan for a model provider, or a local model
  • Accounts for the chat apps you want to connect

Steps

  1. Finish onboarding so the Gateway is running
  2. Follow the getting started guide's channel setup for WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal or iMessage
  3. Send the assistant a direct message from the connected app
  4. Unknown senders are paired by default; approve a request with the openclaw pairing approve command only for people you trust
  5. Read the security guide before connecting other users or exposing the Gateway remotely

Prompt for your agent

Help me connect my running openclaw/openclaw Gateway to <Telegram or WhatsApp>. Walk me through the channel setup from the docs, keep DM pairing on, and list every token or credential I am adding and where it is stored.

Caveat. Treat inbound messages as untrusted input: tools run on the host for the main session unless you configure sandboxing.
